What method is usually used for your genital exams?

I'm laying on my back on the table. Right after my doctor palpates my abdomen, he has me slip my boxers down and he examines my testicles and checks for hernias. Then he has me turn to my left side for the prostate exam. I do wish that he would have me standing as well as I feel that I would have a more comprehensive exam.

My typical genital examination at the pediatrician was with me completely naked on the examination table. He always started with testicles, inserting a finger in the inguinal canal, palpating spermatic cords and pulling each testicle. This was quite uncomfortable due to cremasteric reflex elicited by the manipulation. He also slightly squeezed each testicle to assess size and consistency. This is done with spread legs and knees slightly bent, the position unavoidably expose also the anal sphyncter and it was very embarrassing. Then he palpated the penis shaft, reachef the prepuce and pulled forward it a little assessing elasticity and redundance. Then rapidly retracted it uncovering the glans and keeping it completely retracted making the frenulum pulling and the tip bending while examining the inner mucosa, the glans and the meatus spreading it a little. I was dreaded of that part because in my early examinations he did a few forced dilatations. He seems to be definitely focused on the penis expecially the prepuce.
